Chapter 132 Registered Patents
The next day, Jiang Hui checked the location and process of the patent office on the Internet. was about to go on errands, He Ling called and must follow, so she had to take him to run errands with him.
In the past, company registration was entrusted to an intermediary, and it seems that in the future, you can consider finding a reliable company to help handle patent applications, after all, there are more and more things to apply for by companies under the Guanghui Group.
According to the Patent Law, the examination and approval process for an invention patent application consists of five stages: acceptance, preliminary examination, publication, substantive examination and grant. Utility model or design patent applications are not subject to publication and substantive examination in the examination and approval process, and there are only three stages: acceptance, preliminary examination and authorization.
Jiang Hui and He Ling, looking at the pile of guidance in the office hall, their heads were big. There are specific requirements for filling in and drafting patent application documents, and the applicant can fill in or write them by himself, or he can entrust a patent agency to handle them on his behalf. Although it is not mandatory to appoint a patent agent, considering the importance of carefully drafting patent application documents and the legal rigor of the approval process, it is an extremely painful thing for an applicant with little experience like Jiang Hui, and it is best to find an agency to handle it.
Although I also helped my mentor prepare some corresponding things when I was studying for a doctorate in my previous life, the main work was entrusted to a patent agency, and now I do it myself, so I understand that it makes sense to specialize in the art industry.
After tossing for most of the day, I finally got the acceptance notice, and then went to the toll office to pay the money, and I could go back and wait for the result. However, in the future, you will have to pay a patent fee every year, and if you have more patents and no commercial value, you really can't afford to apply for them.
When Jiang Hui and He Ling walked out of the patent office, it was already more than twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
The moment they stepped out of the door, Jiang Hui and He Ling glanced at each other and laughed together.
"Easier said than done, I thought it would be a simple patent application, but I didn't expect it to be so complicated," Jiang Hui said.
"Yes, we still have a practical appearance patent, and the process is relatively simple. In the case of other patents, the process is more complicated. In the future, if you want to apply for a patent in another country, you really can't do it without the help of professionals," says Ho Ling.
"Yes, these things are generally represented by law firms abroad, and there should be some in China, so let's contact Weiwei and find a fixed partner to help us handle future patent applications," Jiang Hui said.
"If we are ready to launch it tomorrow, it is estimated that we will not be able to catch up with the patent authorization," He Ling said.
"It doesn't matter, these patents only make sense after the game is popular. At first, it was only launched on the school intranet, and no matter how popular it was, its impact was limited," Jiang Hui said.
"The school intranet is now firmly established, but it is not profitable, and every time I look at the report, the expenditure is greater than the income, what should I do?" said He Ling.
"You don't have to worry, it's good to have an income, and we don't have a lot of expenses right now. Many Internet companies only start to make a profit after years of losing money. The intranet now has revenue from gaming platforms, and some companies are thinking about advertising, so it won't take long to break even," Jiang said.
"Your game company, all rely on you to develop games alone, are you busy?" said He Ling.
"I'm really going to get busy, and I'm going to start recruiting some full-time staff to work on the school intranet and Guanghui Games recently, and after the launch of Happy Farm and Happy Landlord for a month, I will combine the revenue from these two games to determine the scale of recruitment," Jiang Hui said.
"I've also read your contract, and judging from the popularity of these two games now, Penguin is estimated to have to pay a high price. It is estimated that they regret dying and did not buy it out at once," He Ling said.
"Hehe, I'm just waiting for the penguin's rice to come to the pot. Besides, they didn't actually suffer, they just took advantage of less," Jiang Hui said.
"How do I feel like I'm getting a lot of money," He Lingjiao said with a smile.
"Hehe, how about it, the feeling of hitting the potential stock is not cool", Jiang Hui said with a smile.
"It's said that it's a potential stock, and I'll talk about it when it breaks out. The top priority now is to find a place to invite my aunt and grandmother to have a good meal, I'm going to be tired to death this morning", He Ling said coquettishly while holding Jiang Hui's arm.
"Let's go and have a French meal," Jiang Hui said.
"Okay, last time my cousin took me to a house, it was quite delicious, not very far from here", He Ling said.
……
"What should I eat?" Jiang Hui said.
"Last time my cousin recommended an appetizer of French snails, the main course was a medium-rare steak, and then a dessert, why don't we try it first?"
"Okay, then let's try it one by one, do you want to have no more bottles of red wine?", Jiang Hui said.
"Okay, it's winter vacation anyway, I have nothing to do, I can drink slowly with you", He Ling said.
……
The restaurant serves the food at an okay pace, and the snails are cooked with a delicious garlic parsley cream. As you might expect, the snail is tough but not sticky and chewy, and tastes a bit like mussels, making it a must-try dish beneath the garlic cream.
There is also a more distinctive tool for eating snails is very special, it is a special tongs, when eating, hold the snail with tongs with one hand, pick out the snail meat from the shell with the other hand, dip it in the sauce, and the entrance is extremely delicious.
"When it comes to French food, we always mention snails, foie gras, steak, leg of lamb, and next time we'll try foie gras," Jiang Hui said.
"Okay, there are a lot of delicacies from all over the world, enough for you to taste slowly," He Ling said.
"Today's hard work Lingling accompanied me all morning, let's go one", Jiang Hui raised his glass and said.
"It's not hard, I feel very happy," He Ling said.
The two of them chatted while eating, but they basically drank a bottle of red wine.
"If there is a place to play in the afternoon, today's job is to apply for a patent, and now that you are done, the rest of the time belongs to you," Jiang Hui said.
"Yes, then I have to think about it, you probably won't have time to play with me after "Angry Birds" goes online tomorrow", He Ling said.
"No, it's just a few days of busy, if nothing happens, I don't have to keep staring at the backstage," Jiang Hui said.
"Let's go shopping, it's too cold to play outside," He Ling said.
"It's okay, listen to you," Jiang Hui said. Although he said this, Jiang Hui was actually thinking in his heart: "Why do women like shopping so much, aren't they tired of shopping all the time?"
